Two days in Dublin followed by a day in Preston. April has certainly seen me put in the miles and no mistake.
Killinarden in Tallaght is a school I’ve been to before, and a joy to return to. The odd divided cover you can see was a result of a problem I had with the photocopier. I could not make it reduce A3 to A4 no matter what I tried. It kept copying just a segment of the page onto the wrong size of paper. I pride myself on knowing most places’ copiers better than they do, so I hate being thwarted like that. The morning group, on the right, took home a cover that was a gappy patchwork effort. So for the afternoon session I designed a cover that could be copied on the multi-up sheet feeder setting, which worked fine. Of course, in the afternoon the copier worked fine so we had an unnecessary odd cover design that only I will ever comprehend.
Marino college in Dublin is one I hadn’t been to in years. Two great classes latter there come up with a couple of my favourite titles in ages.
Preston Muslim Girls School was another return booking, and another occasion (following Rickmansworth) when I’d agreed to three classes in a day. I’m a fool to myself, but I managed it. And check out Granny Got Hit By A Bazooka cropping up as a title for the second time in a week. Turns out it’s a song, made popular on TikTok. The image I used this time is the one that goes with the song itself, an Ai slop effort ironically redrawn by hand by me.
The celebrities these seven groups chose to appear in my demonstration strip were Michael Jackson (twice), Albert Einstein, Ronaldo, Justin Bieber, Kylie Jenner, and Drake.
